Submission to the Nuffield Council on Bioethics on donor conception
Published: 16 May 2012
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics issued a consultation on donor conception and whether parents of people conceived using donor eggs or sperm should choose to tell them about their genetic origins. Should it be a private family matter, or are there wider public and ethical interests at stake? What kind of information, including medical, might donor-conceived people and their parents need about their genetic origin? Whose rights are most important?
